Yes! Thank you KDF. Netcat was exactly what I was looking for!
Is there a handy internet acronym for "thank you for figuring out what
I was trying to ask, even though I was too dense to have really thought
the question through..." ?
Anyway, this is now working perfectly for me for triggering a "scan for
new music":
Code:
--------------------
echo rescan | nc -w 1 slimsever_ip 9090
--------------------
Mentioning Netcat in the CLI documentation would be handy for those of
us who grew up in the dos/windows world and have only limited Linux
experience. As it is, the CLI doc only mentions telnet.
